My Favorite Thing to Do

It seems there is always a doorway to walk through

Without getting caught up in a narcissistic “what about me” tirade, here’s an over-view of who I am, where I’m coming from and of most interest to you, how I can maybe help you jump ahead in work and in life.    

My expertise? To help people internalize the “systems mindset.”    

You already know there is a vast amount of instant-wealth creation, lifestyle-design and life-enhancement information available online. The standard offerings range from, “Send me money and I’ll coach you on how to sell stuff,” to non-revenue personal blogging.   

I’m in the latter category, excepting that I also sell a book.    

98% of my personal income is from our telecommunications business, Centratel. I’ve run it for 26 years and have 30 employees. I don’t spend much time in the office because my staff is loyal, smart and systems-oriented. (The recession? Our growth has slowed but we remain at near-record gross and net revenues.) Regarding the Work the System method, you can’t hire me to do consulting work. I enjoy public speaking but am not assertive about seeking presentations. I sell my book but it’s a fraction of our personal income.  

Yet, I have to admit that my favorite thing to do is to write and communicate.  

The “systems mindset” methodology I discuss in my book and blog posts is not theoretical. It’s based on a simple and believable life-observation. Is it an “easy button” solution to finding financial freedom and personal peace? It can be, but there are caveats. I don’t know who you are, what you do or what your personal proclivities and/or hang-ups might be, so obviously I can’t guarantee anything. There are other reasons you might not benefit from what I teach: Perhaps you live in a part of the world where there isn’t opportunity to advance. Or, maybe you are burdened with a major or minor chemical addiction that you can’t shake and that will continue to hold you back. I could go on with the disclaimers, but you get the idea. Another relevant point: You are probably pretty good at some particular thing. The systems mindset approach will help you further excel in this personal expertise. So you don’t necessarily need to turn your life upside down in order to get ahead because your best bet might be to just get really good at what you already do.    

What I espouse is supported by my own real-world success. In a relatively short period of time I remolded my life. Now I pretty much do whatever I want to do, am within the top 1% of income earners and enjoy robust health. I am married to a beautiful, creative and intelligent woman who equally appreciates this life we lead. Life is great and my personal systems mindset has everything to do with it. And I thank God. I don’t know the details of how this world came about or why it works the way it does, but simple reasoning tells me it didn’t happen by accident. I am humbled by the mystery.  

At this stage of my life, writing and making connections with people is my life-predilection. I have the resources and the knowledge to help people turn things around for themselves and I get great satisfaction in seeing that happen. Yes, I still want to “get ahead,” but in contrast to my former life, now most of my working time is spent giving value rather than struggling for monetary gain.  

That’s it! I encourage you to pass this on and/or feel free to re-publish any of the several dozen posts you find here. You can reach me at info@workthesystem.com if you have questions or comments. Thanks!
